Christmas Gift Tags

I hope everyone had a very happy holiday season!

Here's some more holiday gift tags I made a couple friends to use when they give their very yummy holiday treats to family and friends. This time I stamped them on a 3" circle piece of white card stock and adhered them to some ornament shaped card stock which I used George and Basic Shapes to create using 1” and 3 ½” circles and a 1” x 1 ¼” rectangle:

And here are some wreath tags I made last year to attach to my own holiday "treats":

Wreath Thank You

Happy weekend everyone! I'm doing the usual trying to catch up on stuff. :)

Here's a thank you card for Scott's mom and step dad for their generous Christmas gifts plus my birthday present.

If you haven't read before on my blog on how they have a cut your own Christmas Tree farm. Carolyn, Scott's mom, makes many many wreaths, swags, mailbox cozies and kissing balls using prunings from all the different trees they have, scotch pine, concolor, scotch pine, fraser, balsum, korean fur, etc. And real berries and rose hips from her own bushes. And every year she lets me make a 24" wreath for my parents and a 36" for myself. Did you know that between all the different trees you use to make a 36" wreath is about an entire tree! And she also lets me bring home a bunch of prunings to fill my window boxes. This one is outside my dining room window:


Here's the wreath I made for myself, besides the ribbon everything on this wreath is real and those berries are actually rose hips. For those that do not know what those are, they are the bud that is left behind on a rose bush if you do not cut the blooms off:


And a mailbox cozy:


So onto the thank you card...I thought I would make it with a wreath from JOTS:


As always, I just love stickles!

Wreath prunings:
-CS: Bazzill Basics "Bouquet", "Snapdragon", "Palo Verde", "Safari", "Mocha Devine" and "ruby Slipper"

-Fluid Chalk Inks: "Dark Moss", "Olive" and "Yellow Ochre"

More Twelve Days of Christmas

Hi, I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and about to have a very Happy New Year!

Here are some boxes that hold 12 miniature Hershey candy bars that I made using Regina's The Cutting Café's Candy Box.

I made a bunch of each of these to sell as Christmas favors or gifts for people to buy. My finance's mother owns a cut your own Christmas Tree Farm, so every year we go up to help out and she suggested that I bring some of my stuff to see if it will sell. I did sell a few...not including the ones she bought. ;p

Here's a picture of us getting our freshly cut tree:


I had made a couple of these boxes last year for myself to give as dinner favors and gifts to friends and colleagues.

Regina's boxes are always fun to work with and with this particular box there also comes templates to cut out the candy wrappers if you want to use them to cover the Hershey wrappers to make it more custom.

So here they are...

This paper is gorgeous, huh? It's from SEI in their Alpine Frost collection (glitter stack):








I went a little Americana on this set (paper from DCWV The Fall Stack 2007):
